Hey there John,

Yesterday, a single Amazon Web Services outage froze airports, schools, hospitals, and workplaces across the country. One company’s failure brought society to a halt, because they’ve built a world where we can’t function without them. That’s what happens when monopolies rewrite society to serve shareholders, not people.

Fossil fuel corporations did the same thing long before Amazon. Because of fossil fuel lobbying, America bulldozed people’s homes to build highways, gutted public transit, and reshaped our cities until so many of us have no choice but to drive. Every day they profit from the limits they’ve forced on us, while our planet buckles under the weight of their greed.

Can you chip in $10 to help us stand a chance against these greedy billionaires and corporations?

Fossil fuel monopolies and tech monopolies have the same endgame: control the systems we depend on and strip away our ability to choose something better.

These billionaires have learned that if people fight back through democracy, they might lose out on some of the control. So they’ve reshaped our democracy too, buying loopholes and exemptions to the regulations that should protect us, and even funding authoritarians who will silence dissent and crush alternatives.

That’s why our generation’s climate fight is a democracy fight. If massive corporations and billionaire donors keep writing the rules and calling the shots, we’re screwed. We need to transform our political system so that it works for everyday people, not just massive corporations. That’s why we demand politicians of both parties reject fossil fuel money. That’s why we run campaigns that hit billionaires where it hurts — their bottom line.

We’re building a youth movement to fight back against corporate control and build a future that actually works for people.
